Estimated values of wood anatomical and physiological traits of K. angustifolia populations across drought periods (before megadroughtā€”BMd: 2000ā€“2007, megadrought periodā€”Md: 2010ā€“2018, hyperdrought periodā€”Hd: 2019ā€“2020. A Ring width (RW,Ā mm yrāˆ’1); B vessel frequency (VF, ind mmāˆ’2); C hydraulic diameter (DH, Āµm); D vulnerability index of the xylem to embolism (VI); E potential hydraulic conductivity (Kp, kg m MPaāˆ’1Ā sāˆ’1); F wood intrinsic water-use efficiency (iWUE; Ī¼mol CO2 molāˆ’1 H2O). Differences between periods for each site were evaluated using Fisher's LSD test (pā€‰<ā€‰0.05)
